This biography delves into the life and legacy of Charles Darwin, the famed English naturalist and biologist who made significant contributions to the field of evolutionary biology. Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection, proposed in conjunction with Alfred Russel Wallace, remains a fundamental concept in science. Beyond his revolutionary ideas, Darwin was an accomplished geologist and his observations and theories supported the concept of gradual geological change. His passion for natural science was sparked during his studies at Christ's College, University of Cambridge and was further fueled by his five-year voyage on HMS Beagle. This book provides insight into Darwin's personal and professional life, including his early interest in nature that led him to abandon his medical education, as well as his popular status as an author following the publication of his journal of the voyage. Darwin's impact on science and his influence as one of the most important figures in human history are explored in depth, making this a must-read for anyone interested in the history of science.
